would i have trouble getting hired as an Emergency medical Dispatcher at age 18 even if im an EMT student at the same station id be working at?

Thanks. And yea its an EMD and it pays $12 an hour starting out

My county doesn’t require EMR to take an EMT class thank god lol and yes in my state its a 4 day class for dispatch

I wont apply until after I graduate in a few months lol

ok so im not doing EMR class due to the fact that i will not be employed most likely. I will do the EMT class instead. But if i get hired i was told that i will start out part time... but they said that you typically get decent shifts every month but it depends on the needs of the company. So i...

I was told that my countys ems dept hires EMRs bbc they are in need of people. But the EMRs usually drive the ambulance

I will be 18 before completing the class.

So im thinking about taking an EMR class this month but i need to know if i will be getting paid, how many hours EMRs typically work and if i will be on an ambulance. I really wanna be on an ambulance

I understand your trying to help. No offense taken. I am not a student yet i dont know why it says that. But i am interested in EMS although i dont know alot about it.

Ok bc i wanna help people in need. Thats why i chose EMS

Ok so as BLS i cant “work” on patiemts? Only trasnport them?

I wanna do ALS then. Can i choose?

Ok so if i dont get OT then will i be able to make a decent living with her? Her salary will start out at 14-16k a year and obviously EMS doesn’t pay much. So together we might have 30k a year. Is that okay? To have food on the table, rentvand phone and internet?

So if I wasn’t working 911 what will i be doing? And what will the pay be?

I wanna work 911 and will i get to have alot of OT?
